Those looking to rent a work platform often have little time for extensive research. The machine must be reliable, arrive on site on time, and, above all, operate safely.

However, not every rental company offers the same level of service. A good access platform rental company should provide much more than just equipment—they should offer a complete, worry-free rental package that combines safety, transparency, state-of-the-art technology, and, above all, reliability.

To help you make the right choice, we have put together a checklist of what really matters when it comes to renting a work platform .

You should pay attention to this

Personal advice instead of standard solutions

Every construction site is different – and not every aerial work platform is suitable for every application. A good rental company will take the time to provide personal advice before renting and ensure you get exactly the machine that meets your needs.

Important questions for tenants

What working height is required?
Is the stage intended for indoor or outdoor use?
Are there obstacles or confined spaces
What load capacity is required?

An even better service is a free site visit . This allows landlords to assess the optimal solution on-site – saving time, stress, and potential mistakes.

Modern and tested work platforms

Aerial work platforms are highly complex machines that are in use every day. A good rental company ensures that the equipment is not only technically sound but also state-of-the-art.

Make sure your rental fleet is regularly serviced and all platforms are inspected before handover. This reduces the risk of breakdowns and ensures greater safety on your construction site.

A special highlight that not every provider offers is our BIBERGER KEY CARD :

No key required – the work platform is unlocked via chip card.
GPS tracking – always keep track of where the machine is.
Protection against unauthorized use – Only authorized persons can operate the stage.

This makes renting not only easier but also safer!

Matching accessories on offer

In addition to the work platform, you often need additional accessories to work safely. A good rental company will think ahead and offer you everything from a single source:

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment against falls from a height) for platforms with mandatory belt use
Protective mats or support plates to protect sensitive floors
Power and extension cables for electric work platforms

If you get everything directly from the same provider, you save time and can be sure that everything fits together.

A transparent and simple rental process

A good aerial platform rental company will make the rental process as easy as possible. You should always know exactly:

What costs you will incur – no hidden fees.
When the work platform is delivered – timely delivery is crucial.
How returns work – easy pickup or return.

With us, the rental process is transparent and straightforward – from initial consultation to pickup. You can ask questions at any time if anything is unclear, and you'll always receive personalized support instead of being on hold on a hotline.

Strength in alliance

A strong network means greater safety, better availability, and comprehensive service – that's exactly what SYSTEM LIFT offers, for example.

As part of SYSTEM LIFT, our customers benefit not only from modern machines but also from a reliable network.

Additional services

Training and instruction

Not everyone is familiar with operating aerial work platforms – and operator training is often even required by law. A good rental company therefore offers not only equipment, but also training and instruction.

With a good work platform rental company you get

PPE training for safe working at height
Operator training for mobile elevating work platforms according to DGUV
A short instruction on how to use the device upon handover if you are already trained

This way you can be sure that all operators are optimally prepared – this minimizes the risk of accidents and ensures smooth operations.

Trust and reliability

A good access platform rental company is characterized by transparency, expertise, and first-class service. Binding agreements, punctual deliveries, and prompt support in the event of an emergency are essential to ensure your project runs smoothly.

Having a personal contact person who takes care of your needs makes all the difference – whether it's a short-term rental, a technical question, or an unexpected problem on the construction site.

Conclusion

A good access platform rental company rents more than just machines

Choosing the right rental company determines how safely and efficiently your construction site runs. Make sure you get not just a lift, but a complete, worry-free rental package.
